DON HENLEY - The Last Worthless Evening lyrics

rate me

I know you broke up with him<br>And your heart's still on the shelf<br>It's been over two years for me<br>And I'm still not quite myself<br>You can't be with someone new<br>And you can't go back to him<br>You're beginning to realize<br>That it's sink or swim<br>I see you around sometimes<br>And my heart just melts<br>You're lookin' like if you had your wish<br>You'd be somewhere else<br>And it just breaks my heart<br>To see you here this way<br>Someday I'll get the nerve<br>To walk up to you and say<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>Just gimme a chance<br>To show you how to love again<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>'cause I'll be there<br>When your broken heart is on the mend<br>Every night it's the same old crowd<br>In smoky rooms<br>You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes<br>But it never blooms<br>I've been around this block a time or two<br>And I've made some big mistakes<br>But girl I promise you, I promise you<br>That this is the worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>Just gimme a chance<br>To show you how to love again<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>'cause it won't be long<br>'till your little heart is on the mend<br>People inside their houses<br>With the shades pulled down<br>God knows, we could use some romance<br>In this sleepy bedroom town<br>I know you're still afraid to rush into anything<br>But there're just so many summers<br>And just so many springs<br>And this is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>Just gimme a chance to show you how<br>To love again<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend, baby<br>'cause I'll be there when your broken heart<br>Is on the mend<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend<br>Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance<br>To show you how to love again<br>This is the last worthless evening<br>That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long<br>'til your little heart is on the mend
